Manufacturer’s Description
Ruger‘s 9E is a full-size semiauto pistol built on a black, glass-filled, nylon grip frame, and chambered in .9mm. It’s a low-cost version of Ruger’s SR9 pistol, costing roughly $100 less. Like the SR9, the 9E’s features include:
- An accessory rail;
- three-dot sights;
- a reversible backstrap (flat or arched) you can change without special tools;
- an ambidextrous thumb safety; and
- an ambidextrous, D-shaped magazine release.
To cut the 9E’s cost, Ruger:
- Reduced the machining performed on the slide with fewer, wider grip serrations, smaller sight dovetails and a non-rounded slide top;
- offering only a black oxide finish on the slide instead of a semi-gloss black nitride finish; and
- eliminating the loaded chamber indicator in favor of a small visual-inspection port.
In addition, the 9E comes with only one magazine, no loading tool and a cardboard box (instead of a plastic case).

I always liked my SR-9 and SR-40, but not the big loaded chamber indicator. The 9e is the same gun without it, and I love it.
One of the best rugers I have I love the price to it shoots just as good as it looks
5,000 rounds through mine. and i couldnt be happier. last years christmas present from my son, and he did me right on this thing. putbthe ghost trigger in and even better. not the most accurate gun i own
(put a magazine full into 3-4 inches) but i can work with it. ill bet my life on it, so its my house/ccw gun.
